The guitar is a Guild X-170 Manhattan. They don’t make them anymore. It’s a maple laminate semi-hollowbody electric with SD1 pickups. In the video they have a microphone in one of the f-holes, one on the amp and probably another picking up ambient room sound. They mixed it so that you hear more of an acoustic sound than you will actually hear if you’re in a room playing the through an amp. I’m fairly certain the amp is an older American made Fender Blues Junior.
